The London and North Western Railway (LNWR) Precursor Class the second to be known by that name was a class of 4-4-0 steam locomotives.They were introduced by George Whale in 1904 and 130 examples were built by Crewe Works up to 1907. Their introduction allowed Whale to phase out his predecessor Francis Webb’s unreliable compound locomotives. They were essentially a larger version of Webb’s LNWR Improved Precedent Class.
